Appearance: Sumizome is very short and young looking for his age, so instead of looking 16 he looks more like a 12 year old more or less. Sumizome isn't rather built, he's got some muscle, but not to the point where it's bulging, and it's somewhat unnoticeable under his clothes. His hair is snowy white, his eyes are pale blue, he has a light tan, and he carries a soft expression on his face most of the time. Sumizome prefers not to wear the samurai armor that has been given to him. He finds the armor bulky and hard to move in. Instead he wears rather traditional clothing from feudal eras. He wears, straw sandals, tabi socks, black hakama, a silky silver no-sleeved top with a dragon on the back. He wears his samurai armor when he must, but his is different than most others. His armor is black and silver, looking nothing like the traditional samurai armor and more like a new-age type of armor. Looking something like this:

Spoiler:

He wears a rather large scroll that is tied around his waist (Think Tenten) inside of which is a numerous amount of weapons. Sumizome also has a small red and golden dragon tattoo on his right shoulder to his neck.

Height: 5'

Weight: 112 pounds

Personality: Sumizome is a hard working person, when he is given a task he likes to get it done without taking any breaks. He's a fighter; usually fighting to the point that he can't fight anymore. Around people he can be takative or quiet, it usually depends on his mood. He is a cool headed individual, this state of mind usually stays with him even in battle. Sumizome is also a nature lover and lover of the arts. When it comes to socializing, he is somewhat good in that area. Sometimes he can be a very friendly person, while other times he can be seen as a loner. He likes to help those that are in need and likes to make friends with people who he trusts.

After the Tomoshibi clan defected to Iwagakure, they sought refuge in Kumogakure. The history says that all of them went to Kumogakure; however this is not the case. Some members of the Tomoshibi clan moved to various places around the shinobi world, some even fled to the Samurai nations. A small group of Tomoshibi clan members, no larger than 12 people, were one of those groups who fled to the samurai nations. Among this group was a pregnant female (his mother). He was born shortly after his family’s arrival to the land of iron. Since he was born to two shinobi parents he was trained to use his Kekkei Genkai, however since he was born in the land of iron, he also began training as a samurai. His training started from when he was 6 years old and onward. Learning both the ways of the Samurai and the ways of the shinobi proved to be tough, the Samurai's way was way different from the Shinobi's way and so he had to find a way to make them both work. Sumizome excelled in things such as Kendo and hand to hand combat, and for his shinobi training he excelled in stealth, his kekkei genkai, and other areas. He entered to Samurai academy at the age of 10 and graduated at the age of 13.Sumizome's time as a Chugen was relatively short, his samurai and shinobi training really made him a natural at fighting. He spent most of his time as a chugen training as a samurai and receiving lessons from his (former) shinobi parents. He received his first custom sword at the age of 14 as a birthday present from his grandfather. With further training, he was able to impress the “higher-ups” and move on to the Gashira rank at 15. While a Gashira, Sumizome began to work on his own custom armor. He really didn’t like the standard samurai armor, but he didn’t want to complain about it when he was a low rank. When he got the proper materials he began to work on his armor. In addition to this, instead of regular swords, he began to use his clan weapons. They were easier to carry and could be hidden with little effort, which made them great stealth weapons. The only swords he did carry were the first sword he received, and the large sword that was given to him when he was born. He was a very dedicated warrior, following order s and going on missions without any questions. After a year, he was promoted to Kyuunin.

Kenjutsu: 4

Spoiler:

Blade of Light: Horizontal Crescent SlashRank: BType: Kenjutsu/Kekkei Genkai Element: HikaritonRange: Close-MidSumizome sends his Hikariton chakra into his blade and surrounds it in a layer of burning light. When an enemy is close enough he will quickly slash horizontally. This will cause the hikariton chakra to extend up to 32 feet (10meters) and slash anything that is in it's wide arch. This extension of the blade is as sharp as the blade itself and will easily cut through stone like butter. This attack is very surprising and can catch enemies off guard; because it is made of light the blade will be very difficult to see in the daytime or a brightly lit area.

Eastern Dragon's Raging Blast Rank: BType: Kenjutsu Element: Chakra Range: Close-Far Sumizome sends a large amount of chakra to cover his blade. The chakra takes on the properties of the blade (Hardness sharpness, etc.) and is then fired off. The blast of chakra takes the form of a Chinese eastern dragon that is 20ft long and 10ft wide; it is actually made up of tiny 1inch blades of chakra that will cut up anyone who gets caught inside to shreds.

QuickdrawRank: CType: KenjutsuElement: Chakra Range: Close Sumizome charges up his chakra into his sword while it is still sheathed. When an enemy is close enough to him he quickly unsheathes the blade and releases that chakra into blades that form a spiraling barrier of razor sharp chakra blades that protect him from that enemy by cutting them up. Because the jutsu is used so quickly it gives the enemy little time to react to the attack.

Samurai Saber TechniqueRank: ?Type: KenjutsuRange: Close-LongElement: -Unique to samurai, this technique employs the concept of 'Chakra Flow', similar to the Flying Swallow and Kusanagi Sword: Chidori Katana techniques. Through "Chakra Flow", the user channels their chakra through their swords. This extends the reach and the cutting edge of the blade, and also allows the user to fire crescents of energy whenever the blade is swung. The samurai have also shown form manipulation, as the chakra blades form into buzz-saws, broad swords, and axes.

Weaponry: 5

Spoiler:

Name: Hagane Tenmetsu [Flashing Steel] Type: Supplementary Rank: CElement: - Range: Self Hagane Tenmetsu's ability is to allow the samurai using it to summon their armor on to their body or taking it off of their body, without having to go through the trouble of actually putting it on or taking it off. By sealing their armor on a seal somewhere on their body, they will be able to summon their armor rather instantaneously by sending a small amount of chakra into the seal and bringing out their armor. This works in a way similar to a summoning technique, where the user summons a weapon, object, or animal; this just summons armor instead. It get's the name Flashing Steel from how it looks while activated. When the armor is summoned the seal will emit a very bright light for about 5 seconds and when it clears the samurai will be covered in their armor. The same will be done when the armor is being taken off. Mastery: Yes

The Seal:

Spoiler:

Generic Sealing TechniqueRank: CType: Supplementary Range: - This technique is a standard ninja skill which allows a ninja to summon an assortment of items or weapons that have been stored using Fūinjutsu, typically they are stored within scrolls. When needed, the owner will activate the seals releasing their item or weapon of choice. Puppets can have these hidden inside various compartments as a means of increasing their own killing potential as well as hiding useful weapons from the opponent's sight.

Summoning: Lightning Blade CreationRank: BType: Weaponry Range: Close-MidThis is a special "ninja tool summon" that allows the user to seal ninja tools like swords or kunai into, a scroll or their clothes beforehand, allowing them to be called upon when needed. The ninja tools can be summoned in an instant just by touching the sealing "marks" which can be drawn anywhere. The greatest advantage of this technique is that the time between taking out a ninja tool, taking the right stance and actually throwing it is greatly reduced. Also when a weapon such as a Fūma Shuriken is summoned, the time needed to throw it can be further shortened by having prepared the weapon in fully extended form beforehand. The ninja tools are thrown with the actual speed of a "flash of lightning," ruining the opponent's outset of the battle, and snatching away the initiative. Furthermore, because the summon-able ninja tools can remain hidden until right before they are used, if this technique is mastered, there are an exceptional number of possible tactics.

Twin Rising DragonsRank: BType: WeaponryRange: Close-MidFirst, Tenten places two small scrolls in the floor. When activated, the two scrolls release smoke while also flying and spinning into the air in the shape of two dragons made of smoke. Tenten then jumps between the two scrolls, and starts to rapidly summon and throw all sort of weapons as a powerful barrage. If the initial attack were to fail, she can control the discarded weapons with wires attached to her fingertips for a surprise attack. However, because the weapons are thrown, they are easily countered by wind techniques.

Manipulated Tools: Heavenly Chain of DestructionRank: AType: WeaponryRange: Close-LongA stronger version of the Twin Rising Dragons, Tenten tosses her large scroll into the air above her opponent and summons hundreds of different weapons from it, which then rain down, impaling them anything in their path. The weapons move so fast that they appear as white streaks.

Hidden MassacreRank: AType: WeaponryRange: CloseThis weaponry technique is more of a trap than anything. Sumizome will lay several scrolls on the ground, walls, and ceiling in a certain area, and then make them blend in with their surroundings using his chakra. He will then work to lure his enemy to this area (or if they approach him) and then activate the scrolls. The activated scrolls will shoot out a variety of weapons from every direction and impale the careless enemy to death. Being a trap jutsu, it cannot be used instantaneously as it needs several moments to set up.

Kekkei Genkai: 13

Spoiler:

Hikariton: Hikari no senkou ((Light Release: Flash of Light))Rank: CType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: SelfDescription: The user bends the light around them so that way they become invisible to the naked eye. Although the invisibility doesn't effect sound, so they will have to stay still or move very slowly when using this jutsu. Also people with special eyes (Byakugan, Sharingan, etc.) can see them normally. ((Cost 2CP per post after activation))

Hikariton: Hikari Nijuushin ((Light Release: Light Clone or Light Release: Light Doppelganger))Rank: BType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: N/ADescription: The user uses their light chakra to create an exact clone of themselves. This clone has a similar function to the fire clone jutsu but is not entirely the same. Like the fire clone jutsu the clones will burn whomever touches them. Unlike the fire clones, when attacked they will not disperse in a fiery explosion, but they will explode like a flash bomb, rendering anyone near them blinded for a while.

Hikariton: Hikari Tsubasa ((Light Release: Light Wings))Rank: BType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: SelfDescription: The user uses their hikariton chakra to create wings made out of light, this allows the user to fly as if they were a bird.

Hikariton: Hikari Buki Kaibyaku ((Light Release: Light Weapon Creation))Rank: CType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: Close-Far(Varies on weapon made)Description: This jutsu lets the user create weapons such as kunai, shuriken, senbon, and fuma shuriken, out of light (That's the list of weapons they can create). The weapons function the same as their real counterparts they just burn the people they cut or get suck in. Also since they are made of light they make no sound when playing through the air. (Creates 5 kunai, shuriken, or senbon each turn, or two fuma shuriken)

Hikariton: Hikari Kiritateru ((Light Release: Slashing Light))Rank: BType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: Close-Mid.(0-10m)Description: The user charges up heated hikariton chakra into their hand or weapon, once there is enough they will simply swing it horizontally causing the hikariton chakra to fly off their hand or weapon in a crescent shaped blade. The blade is very sharp, and is powerful enough to cut through stone. Also due to being made of light this jutsu would be very difficult to see during the daytime.

Hikariton: Hikari ken no Nenshou ((Light Release: Burning Blade of Light))Rank: BType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: Close(0-5m)Description: For this jutsu the person take out the "sword handle" that they carry around and begins to pump their hikariton chakra into it. Then they will begin to form the chakra into a five foot dual-edged blade. Because the sword is made out of light it is virtually weightless...save for the handle. Also the sword makes no sound when swung through the air. How this jutsu got it's name is because since the sword is made out of hikariton (Which is a mixture of Raiton and Katon) it is very hot, so whenever a person gets cut with this weapon they will also be burnt somewhat badly. This jutsu can be used without the handle but constant use will burn the users hand.

Hikariton: Hikair Kei no Nenshou ((Light Release: Burning Whip of Light))Rank: BType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: Close to Mid. (0-10m)Description: Similar to the Burning Sword of Light, this time the user just creates a whip. The jutsu has the same effects as the sword, and again can be used without the handle. The only difference is that it can move around more freely and has a longer range. Also it can wrap around a person so they can be (not only burnt) but dragged around.

Hikariton: Hikari Enchou Haretsu ((Light Release: Light Dome Explosion))Rank: BType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: Close to Mid. (0-10m)Description: The user envelopes their body in light, then they will crouch into a ball on the ground as if they were hurt. Then if somebody gets close to them they will suddenly stand up and with their arms outstretched, releasing the light and creating a dome-like explosion. The light that is release off of their body is really hot and will burn everything that comes into contact with it within a 10 meters of the area where the dome started.

Hikariton: Hikari Toku ((Light Release: Light Shield))Rank: BType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: Close to Mid (0-10m)Description: The user creates a large dome of light (Large enough to fit up to eight people) around themselves and anyone who is near them. The dome can protect against attacks that are the same rank or below and projectiles. If a person from outside comes in contact with it they will get burnt very badly. (Last 4 post)

Hikariton: Hikari Ken Arashi ((Light Release: Light Sword Storm ))Rank: AType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: Close-Far (0-10m+)Description: The user creates 40 swords of light that float in the air. On the users command the swords will begin to circle the enemy. Soon enough the swords will begin to randomely attack the person they were sent after. Sometimes they will go one at a time, whille other times they will go by two, or four, or even all at once. These swords are very hot, so when they cut into a person they will burn them very badly.

Hikariton: Hikari no Bakuha ((Light Release: Blast of Light))Rank: AType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: Close-Far (0-10m+)Description: This jutsu is an upgraded version of Hikariton: Rui Hikari Kousen, instead of creating a small beam of light the user creates a large ball of light in the palm of their hands. Then they will fire a large, fast moving, really hot beam of light. Like it's predecessor it can be bounced off of reflective surfaces (Mirrors, water, glass, etc.). Unlike it's predecessor this jutsu is strong enough to go through people, rocks, etc. Using this jutsu excessively can cause damage to the users hand (burning).

Hikariton: Nenshou Hikari Hashira ((Light Release: Burning Light Pillar))Rank: SType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: Mid. to Far (0-10m+)Description: The jutsu creates a very large circle of light on the ground below the target. The person inside has only seconds to escape before the user snaps their fingers, causing the circle to rise up and becomes a superheated pillar of light that engulfs and burns everything inside. The longer the person inside stays within the more damage they take, staying in for more then 40 seconds can be fatal to most. This jutsu is best used when the person inside is bound so they cannot move, but either way if they get caught within the pillar (Bound or unbound) it will cause a lot of damage.

Hikariton: Hikari Sekisho no Hanshateki ((Light Release: Reflective Barrier of Light))Rank: SType: Kekkei GenkaiRange: Close-Far (0-10m+)Description: This jutsu is an upgraded version of Hikariton: Hikari Toku, this jutsu creates a large shield of light that not only protects but it also bends the light around it to make it appear (and the people inside) like it totally vanished (it gives the illusion that nothing it there..And it works in the darkness too). This barrier can protect from attacks the same rank or below, and if it is hit with a katon or raiton jutsu it can reflect it back to where it came from...Hence the name. If a person from outside were to come into contact with the invisible barrier they will get second to third degree burns on their body. This jutsu lasts 5 post, giving the person(s) inside time to make a plan, heal their wounds, or maybe just time to rest. When the 5 post are up the barrier will begin to crack and finally it will shatter, sending shards of superheated light all over the place.
